Unfortunately our current County Development Officer, Sue Jarvis, has been unsuccessful in her bid to become one of the new South West Development Officers. She will continue in her current role until September. It is hoped that DCBA will be able to use Sue in some capacity after this.

A dinner was held in June 2009 to mark the retirement of the Devon County Badminton Association’s Chairman, David Burgess, Secretary, Ron Baker, and Treasurer, Margaret Force after many years service to the County Association.
David, Ron & Margaret were each presented with a Dartington Crystal Shuttlecock by the County Association in recognition of their services to Devon Badminton.
David was on the Committee for 35 years, and Chairman for the last 25 years. Ron joined the Committee in 1978 and was the County Secretary from 1979 until his retirement. Margaret was the County Treasurer for the last 34 years and has served on the Committee for over 50 years.
The Chairman of Badminton England, Mike Sertin, presented David, Ron & Margaret with the English Badminton Award - this award, a framed certificate, is for long standing exceptional service to badminton in England.
A presentation was also made to Dylys Bradshaw for her services to the Devon County Badminton Association both on and off the court over the last 40 years. from left to right: Dylys Bradshaw holding her vase, and Margaret Force, David Burgess & Ron Baker with their English Badminton Awards
